Event Description
|
It was reported that the health care professional (hcp) had difficulty interrogating this cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (crt-p).The patient was experiencing pauses and was taken to the emergency room (er) via the ambulance.An alert was received which found the device to be in safety mode.The patient experienced 8-10 second pauses due to oversensing with syncope.Subsequently, the device was explanted and replaced successfully.This device has been returned and is in the process of device analysis.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Upon receipt at our post market quality assurance laboratory, this device was thoroughly inspected and analyzed.Interrogation of the device confirmed it was operating in safety mode had undergone resets and that bradycardia therapy remained available.The system resets occurred during a telemetry session while communicating with the latitude remote monitoring system which caused the device to enter safety mode.Engineers determined that this device was demonstrating behavior consistent with a high internal cell impedance within the battery.The high internal impedance resulted in the system resets due to temporary high-power consumption and subsequent reversion to safety mode operation.Boston scientific has issued a field safety notice regarding ingenio extended life (el) and cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemaker (crt-p) devices that may exhibit this behavior.This particular device is included in the high impedance in ingenio extended life (el) pacemaker and crt-p advisory population.
